"Of course! It's a bit difficult to hire someone for their family, so did you decide to give it a try? The landlady nodded.

"Yes, yes!" My head nodded like a rattle, "I've decided, I'll be a tutor, so when is the right time for me to go?" ”

"I'll give you an address!" The landlady thought for a while, tore a page from the rent collection book, and wrote an address to me on it, "It's this family, surnamed Li, but the rich family lives in some kind of mid-mountain villa or something, and you finally take a taxi when you go." ”

"Got it, thank you hostess." I took the piece of paper and nodded goodbye thankfully.

As soon as I took two steps, the landlady turned back to me and said with a smile: "By the way, your brother came over yesterday to help you pay a year's rent, and I put the receipt on your coffee table, oh, and the whole set of furniture he ordered for you has arrived, and I asked the delivery company to help you put it all in order, you only need to wipe it a little and you can use it." ”

"Furniture, delivery company?" I looked at the landlady in confusion.

"That's right! The things in your house are no longer usable, and I have already taken care of them for you......" I didn't care about the landlady's chatter behind me, and quickly walked towards the little snail house.

I live on the third floor, there are eight households on the whole floor, four households with one bedroom and one living room, two households with three bedrooms and one living room, two households with two bedrooms and one living room, the elevator is in the middle of the floor, and the left hand side of the elevator door is two households and three rooms, and the right hand side is a long passage, and two sets of one-bedroom and one living room and one set of two-bedroom living room are distributed at both ends of the passage.

The one-bedroom apartment I live in is next to the middle of the two-bedroom and three-bedroom room, and the two-bedroom and one-bedroom apartment are distributed at the end of the two ends of the passage, so after getting out of the elevator, I first turn right into the passage, and after walking a few steps, it is my little snail house.

I couldn't wait to take out the key and open the door of the dwelling, I couldn't tell whether it was the light on the balcony that refracted in and pierced my eyes, or the new furnishings in the house, which pierced my eyes and couldn't open them, I opened my mouth in surprise, I felt a little incredible, so I took a few steps back, looked at the door number again, yes, it was room 303 where I lived, and strode in again.

I saw a 40-inch LCD TV hanging on the wall of the living room, a light-colored fabric sofa with a literary atmosphere and a pear blossom wood coffee table of the same color in front of the TV, a new pear blossom wood table and chair for four people was placed in a corner of the living room, the room was replaced with a new bed with a width of one meter and five meters, and the wardrobe was replaced with a dark mahogany wardrobe, which was more than twice as large as the previous double-door wardrobe, and a wall was placed on it.

I walked to the balcony, only to see a brand new washing machine added to the balcony, a new ceramic washbasin in the bathroom, the original stainless steel washbasin has long been gone, and an aluminum plate shelf was ordered on the wall, and there was no change in the kitchen, but a vertical refrigerator was added to it, and in addition to that, air conditioning was installed in the living room and room.

I looked at the new décor and suddenly felt at home, although it was rented, but I thought that this temporary safe haven for me was the starting point for me to move towards a new life, not to mention how touched I was.

I went back to the living room, and my eyes were fixed on a red slip on the coffee table, which needless to say must have been the receipt for one year's rent as the landlady said.

I stepped forward to pick up the receipt, looked at the date on it carefully, and then carefully folded it and put it in my wallet, thinking that in the coming year, I would not have to worry about the rent, and I had a little joy in my heart.

What Chen Chen did for me never only surprised and moved me, he was always able to give me more support and care in the details, he knew that if I divorced Duan Ruochen, I must be out of the house, and I would never take away a penny from the Duan family. He also knew that I would never accept his monetary offer for the sake of face, at least not for now, so he paid me another year's rent.

He knew very well that I could only accept it if he showed his concern for me in this particular way.

After I finished browsing my 'new' home, I quickly took out my mobile phone and sent a message to Chen Chen: Thank you!

Chen Chen quickly replied to the message: Ye Shen'er, you have to live a good life, if you dare to escape from my sight again, I will tie you to the house, lock your hands and feet in chains, and let Mommy feed you when you eat.

After Chen Chen's message, he also brought an expression of covering his face and snickering.

I covered my mouth and replied, "Wouldn't that be a dog?"

Chen Chen replied: That is, if you are disobedient, you will be raised as a pet, so that you will not be lost, and presumably Mommy will agree.

I replied: Chen Chen, I think Lin Xuan.

Chen Chen replied: Don't worry, Lin Xuan's heart has already flown to you, she came to accompany you tonight, and the new bed is enough for you to sleep.

I made a naughty expression and replied: I won't tell you, in order to welcome the arrival of you and Lin Xuan, I will start cleaning from now on, you and her must come to me for dinner at night, just as my reward for you!

As soon as I put my phone down, I started to get busy.

When I was busy until noon, I hurriedly went out to the supermarket to buy two large bags of vegetables and came back, and put them in the refrigerator one by one, although it was winter, but it was also to keep fresh.

After eating, I continued to wipe down the brand new furniture, and after all the furniture was wiped, I put the clothes piled on the bed in the closet and hung them one by one, and then made the bed.

At almost four o'clock, I was ready to cook, although my cooking skills were still not on the table, but I had made great progress, which was really thanks to Duan Ruochen's personal guidance for many days.

At about half past five, Chen Chen and Lin Xuancai arrived together, Lin Xuan hugged me and cried and laughed, she never mentioned my divorce from Duan Ruochen, and during the whole meal, we kept talking about irrelevant topics, most of them chatted about my work.

After the meal, the two of them watched TV in the living room, I was cleaning up the mess in the kitchen, and I vaguely heard them arguing in the living room, I listened carefully, but only heard one name, Situ Yunzhe, and then the voice was muffled by the voice on the TV, and I didn't know what they were talking about Situ Yunzhe, and they didn't want me to hear it.

After cleaning up the work after dinner, I joined the team to watch TV, and within a few minutes, Chen Chen was called away by a phone call, so Lin Xuan and I were left in the room.

Lin Xuan seems to have something on her mind, and she doesn't talk to me like before, she seems to be just like Chen Chen said, before and after I got married, it was this look of being preoccupied and wanting to speak.

"Lin Xuan, you don't have to worry about me, I have already adjusted my mentality when I signed the divorce agreement, so in a short period of time, I quickly returned to normal, maybe I really only have gratitude and guilt for Duan Ruochen! I didn't have any hatred for him, on the contrary, I was a little worried, but looking at the current situation, he was much better than I expected, and I was relieved. ”

"Shen'er, you've lived too hard." Lin Xuan held my hand distressedly, "You also paid a lot for Duan Ruochen, and endured his deception for almost half a year, only blame him for not cherishing you and breaking this marriage in vain." ”

"Actually, I thought it would be absolutely impossible for me to tolerate my husband's cheating, but I didn't expect that at that time, I would be like most women, going with the flow." I smiled wryly, "Fortunately, I can clearly recognize that this marriage is not my destination." ”

"Shen'er, are you still thinking about Situ?" Lin Xuan asked me suddenly, with a look on his face that wanted to say something and stopped.

"Lin Xuan, let the people and things of the past pass! When it comes to increasing sadness, this little snail house is the place where I started anew, and from now on, this is my new home, a new life, and a new beginning. "I looked at the room full of brand new appliances and furniture, and I was so emotional.

New everything, new beginnings, this is my greatest wish at the moment, I have decided, my starting point, is to start from this little dwelling.

Since then, I no longer search for news, because I don't want to see people or things I used to be familiar with appear in my sight, whether it is an escape or a precipitation, in short, since the people and things that used to be strange, then become strangers.

It's just that the reality is always much crueler than the ideal, and when I was concentrating on my bright future, a major event that changed my life quietly came more than a month later.

That night, Lin Xuan and I hugged each other and slept together, we talked about Chen Chen, about classmates and teachers in B University, about our suitors, and about our former youth and frivolity, but we all had a tacit understanding to avoid two people not talking, those two people were naturally Situ Yunzhe and Duan Ruochen.

Early the next morning, Lin Xuan took a taxi and left, but I didn't go out.

The following time, instead of going to the job market, I went to the landlady to help me borrow a full set of high school books, and then stayed at home for a week to study.

On the eighth day, I took a taxi to the mid-level villa complex according to the address given by the landlady, the family of the man surnamed Li.

After watching the taxi leave the villa, I stepped forward and rang the doorbell of the villa, and a woman dressed in grace and luxury appeared in the small video next to the doorbell, she politely asked me who I was looking for, I also politely explained my intention, and reported the landlady, and then, an aunt who was about 50 years old came out of the back room and opened the front yard door for me.

I said thank you and followed the middle-aged aunt through the front yard and into the main house.

"Hello, it's such a cold weather, and I'll let you run." As soon as I stepped into the entrance of the living room, I saw the woman just now greet me, "I am the mother of the child." ”

"Mrs. Li, it's okay! It just so happened that it was the weekend, so I thought about coming to see my child, hoping not to disturb you and her. I put on the slippers I had prepared, and looked at Mrs. Li quietly, judging from the age of the child's study, she should be in her early forties, but with proper maintenance, she looked at most thirty-four or five years old.
